“The role of declaring the winner of a presidential election in the U.S. falls to the news media. The broadcast networks and cable news outlets have vowed to be prudent.” – New York Times 11/3/2020 The New York Times‘ statement was not accidental, but pre-planned. We are in the middle of a coup d’etat by election-stealing against both President Trump and our republic, and the “mainstream media” is very much in on the plot. A first order of business before you read on: the intent of this piece is NOT to imply that it’s over, and that the evildoers will...

How Beautiful We Were by VANDERLEUN on JUNE 23, 2020 A short list. In no particular order. We told our children that any child could grow up to be President. And then we made it come true. We had car shows, boat shows, beauty shows and dog shows. We ran robots on the surface of Mars by remote control. Our women came from all over the world in all shapes and sizes and hues and scents. We actually believed that all men are created equal and tried to make it come true. Everybody liked our movies and loved our television...

It was one of the quiet, colorful afternoons of...

Word has come that FReeper gulfcoast 6 has passed away. Toby was a regular member of the America The Right Way thread, and was a FReeper in good standing since 1999. Toby had many friends on this forum and his wise, gentle posts and warm humor will be sorely missed. He has gone to his glory in Christ and joins his wife Treva who preceeded him in death and whom he lovingly posted about after her death. Toby loved God, his dear family (who he proudly posted about often) and his friends. We will all miss him and look forward...

"We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!" President Bush The big news of the day is the death and burial at sea of Osama bin Laden. Thank you, President Bush and the US military (including my son and future son-in-law) who made this day happen. Other news is the nuptials of William and Catherine in Great Britain. May God bless their union and draw them close to Him in Jesus Christ. Alabama (my state) and other southeast states continue the task of digging out and rebuilding. A massive effort is underway with able bodies...

Well, well! It seems DA of Durham NC Nifong is willing to resign. IMO, too little, far too late. Not only that , but the tears added a nice touch. What an act!Someone needs to order that all the cases he was on, opened and investigated.

Let's put this under the category of "all good things must come to an end." For the vast majority of 2,264 days, I have had the distinct honor and priviledge of starting this thread for the benefit of all who frequent this place. It has been a blessing and one I will remember for the rest of my days. Having been here through the start of the Iraq War, the immigration battles (which are still going on), hurricane KATRINA, and through all of it holding true to the Constitution, and the goal of improving the "American Way of Life". What...

As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!! Good morning!! We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!! The horror. This morning the Washington Pravda (called the Post by the evangelists of the left) is running a piece that leaves absolutely no comfort whatsoever in the hearts of those desiring to protect the American Way. President Bush appears to have caved on the subject of Global Warming. No kidding. The President yesterday took the...

As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!! Good morning!! We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!! There is increasing speculation that Fred Thompson will jump into the Presidential race, probably around July 4. The S&P 500 closed at a record high--but the Washington Pravda took note of the "slow recovery from the tech bust" (nope, no attempt here to point to the biggest free ride in history--UOx42's attempt to claim credit for...
